Nhc Place at the Trace is an assisted living community in Nashville, Tennessee, that offers personal care, rehabilitation services, and respite care. Operated by Nhc Place at the Trace, LLC, the community maintains a CMS certification, supporting a broad range of post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term skilled nursing services. With 99 licensed beds and an occupancy rate of 83%, which is notably above the Tennessee average for skilled nursing communities, the community reflects sustained demand among families seeking rehabilitation and advanced care services within the Nashville area.
The community offers a continuum of clinical and supportive services that includes short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing care, respite stays, hospice coordination, and home healthcare support. Medicare-covered rehabilitation stays make up a significant portion of admissions, though private-pay longer-term residents are also welcome.
CMS ratings place the community above state averages across health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with particularly strong performance in nursing hours per resident. The staffing structure also includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, rehabilitation therapists, dietitians, mental health workers, and dental support staff. All nursing personnel are directly employed rather than contracted, which may contribute to greater consistency in care delivery and staff familiarity with residents.
Clinical quality metrics also compare favorably against statewide benchmarks in several areas. The community reports significantly lower rates of falls with major injury among long-stay residents, lower levels of depressive symptoms, and reduced antipsychotic medication use compared with Tennessee averages. Vaccination compliance rates for influenza and pneumococcal protection are particularly strong. Some quality indicators, including pressure ulcer prevalence and increases in assistance needs for daily activities, are close to state averages, reflecting the higher-acuity nature of the resident population served.
Inspection history reflects a stable compliance record overall, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. Across multiple state health inspections, the community recorded fewer citations than the Tennessee skilled nursing average, with all deficiencies categorized as moderate in severity and no critical or serious citations reported during the review period. Additionally, no civil monetary penalties or Medicare payment denials have been issued within the past several years. Recent inspection findings related primarily to infection control, nutrition, and pharmacy services were addressed through corrective actions.
Amenities and resident services support both rehabilitation and long-term residential life, which include restaurant-style dining, recreational programming, rehabilitation services, hospice, and home care coordination. The community also maintains an Active Resident Council and an on-site Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program, reflecting investment in both resident engagement and workforce development.
Nhc Place at the Trace is well-suited for older adults requiring short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing support, or more clinically intensive care services within a community that combines strong staffing resources, rehabilitation programming, and established regulatory performance.
